[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18502″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When the decision is made to try to revitalize a character or a franchise, sometimes the way they do it is to possibly eliminate known staple characters. This is not to say that they would be eliminated forever, but in the beginning, for a fresh approach, it happens. That is the situation with the upcoming David Harbour led Hellboy reboot. In a recent interview with Collider, Hellboy producer Lloyd Levin confirmed that neither Hellboy regulars Abe Sapien or Liz Sherman would appear in the film. That is a major change as the characters have been helping Big Red since the…

In the case of CBS All-Access Star Trek: Discovery, they’ve decided to take it away. At least as far as two of the new 2nd Season additions to the cast are concerned. Anson Mount, who came on board as Captain Christopher Pike of the USS Enterprise and Rebecca Romijn, who was tapped to play another classic Star Trek character, Number One, will not be coming back next season. The reason given for this was that both actors were just under one season contracts and were brought onboard so that…

When Wonder Woman 1984 was in production, the idea of a November 2019 release was pretty exciting when combined with the release of Shazam! earlier that year. However, those hopes were dampened when it was announced that the release date was pushed back to June 5, 2020. The reasons for this were not made clear at the time but Gal Gadot posted on Twitter that the film was right where it should have been. Indeed, it was a mirror of the premier for the original Wonder Woman which was released in June of 2017. Collider recently interviewed producer Charles Roven and…

When Jon Favreau revealed that IG-88 would be making an appearance in his new Star Wars series The Mandalorian, he never mentioned if it would be a major role or much of anything else. If nothing else, Favreau knows how to build suspense. We also knew that Thor Ragnarok Director Taika Waititi would be directing an episode for the Disney+ streaming service. Now it has been revealed that not only will Waititi be directing but will also be stepping behind the mike to supply the voice of the aforementioned IG-88. Waititi had previously hinted that that he would be appearing…

Unlike the first two characters we have reviewed, DC’s Ragman has a more contemporary beginning. While Namor or Dr. Fate, had origins that traced back to the 1940’s, Ragman made his first appearance in his own magazine in 1976 and was created by writer Robert Kanigher and veteran artist Joe Kubert. Rory Regan was a Vietnam veteran. He had grown up helping his father, a junk man who owned a pawn shop named Rags ‘n’ Tatters. A man of meager means, his father always dreamed that one day he would make a better life for Rory. One night, while…

While Marvel Studios dominates most things Marvel, Sony Pictures is doing quite nicely “staying in their lane” with their selection of Spider-Man based characters. From their joint venture with Marvel on Spider-Man: Homecoming, their box office success with Tom Hardy as Venom, and their Academy Award for Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, you could say that things are looking “Marvelous.” According to Avi Arad, Sony is just getting started. They are in the middle of production of Jared Leto’s Morbius the Living Vampire and if you ask Avi, which Deadline did, fans are in for a real treat with Leto’s appearance…
